    Why does Saunders even bat? He just watches inner half strikes eat him alive.

    I usually s*** on bad lineups (or lineups I think are bad) but flipping 5-6 after a tough loss might be bad people skills. If Gibby thinks it might negatively f*** up morale then it's not terrible... I guess. I don't know. He's also not afraid to turn the late game into the Osuna Show either. In-game managing and pre-game managing are different. For the record I prefer all the best hitters clumped together. I'm just trying to find a rationale for a decision that puts an all-time great hitter beneath a merely pretty good one (in spurts).

    I think this is the case. They left a lot of guys on early but a lot of it came with two outs. I mean, there's a reason why two-out rallies are such momentum shifts.

    What's your definition of playing a perfect ballgame though? They definitely pitched and gloved their asses off but they also didn't do much with the bats. They got the big hit but a perfect ballgame probably doesn't mean letting the oppo pitcher get a CG, right?

    I'd say there was a roughly equal number of good swings. Lindor's left the park though. Kluber bore down and just K'd himself out of trouble. If Sanchez did what Kluber did tonight people would be singing his name for shutting down a great lineup. It's Fan Goggles to think Kluber-Miller-Allen would be workable.

    That K to Jose was brutal. Random turd of a call just falls into the middle of the game.
  7. intentional wok
    That was a single with no shift. He hit it fine.
  8. intentional wok
    Look how lost the Indians look. Wow, not going to win a championship like this. Helloooooooo, first-half Indians.
  9. intentional wok
    Do you know anything about Corey Kluber?
  10. intentional wok
    Kluber is good but I really wish one of those innings produced something. Jose's AB in the 1st was such a waste.
  11. intentional wok
    How accurate are Snet and Fox compared to TBS? I felt like the zone's been off since the Wild Card game.
  12. intentional wok
    Playing with a nuke throwing a gassed Jansen against Harper. And now Difo? If he gets a hit... What happened to Rendon?
  13. intentional wok
    I feel like Kershaw should have just come in for Harper if he was already warm. Now he's just in to deal with a shittier situation and still needs to earn two outs.
  14. intentional wok
    With Kershaw ready to go too. Like, he's right there and warm.
  15. intentional wok
    This Nats lineup is pretty good. I kind of underestimate it whenever I think of them as NL contenders. Shame about Ramos.
  16. intentional wok
    Probably. I bet they go Maeda-Kershaw to start 1 and 2, but it may depend on the outcome of game 1 as well.
  17. intentional wok
    Holy s***, hanging the hat on Kershaw. This is wild.
  18. intentional wok
    Closest we'll ever get to a Jays-Expos World Series though.
  19. intentional wok
    This is going to blow up for the Dodgers. This couldn't be going worse.
  20. intentional wok
    Everyone Ks seemed to jump this year. No idea why or if any of it is related. It was maddening to watch, though. But yes, this is one of his weaker years according to the nerds. The author of the topic's article is probably just going by conventional stats (130 RBIs) -- because that's the only way to call this a career year for Edwin, and even then it's pretty flimsy.
  21. intentional wok
    It's one thing to let Price walk but another thing entirely to let Edwin, nearly a Blue Jay lifer at this point, walk after that Wild Card game. Couple that with the failed negotiations in spring training and the optics of just letting him walk with a QO are just awful. Unless Edwin wants to stay to the point of sacrificing SOME dollars, this offer will probably just have a face-saving effect. (Unless the Jays somehow offer him the top contract, but the chances of that are low considering the dozens of other suitors.) (Also, this isn't a career year for Edwin despite what the article says. With a little bit of variation, his last five seasons have been nearly identical. He's amazing for that reason, not for a "career year" in 2016.)

    Just to get this thread on track: I think it's actually pretty unfair to the Rangers org to single out their postseason chokes this decade for the 2010 WS, the 2011 WS, the 2015 ALDS, and the 2016 ALDS. What a lot of people, including Sid Seixero, seem to forget is that the Rangers also lost a 13-game division lead in the second half of 2012, capping off that regular season with a rug sweep at the hands of the Oakland A's, who leapfrogged the Rangers for the West division crown. Luckily the Rangers had one last kick at the can in the debut of MLB's Wild Card game. However, they ended up losing 5-1 against the 93-win, +6 run differential Baltimore Orioles, scoring their sole run in the first inning on a double play grounder off O's starter Joe Saunders.
  23. intentional wok
    Tell that to Rougned Odor.
  24. intentional wok
    In defense of Texas, I actually think the Jays got pretty lucky to take Game 2 at all. There were Rangers on base pretty much the whole game. It could have easily, easily gone the Rangers' way. Not that it was a particularly great performance for them, but it had Jays loss written all over it. Game 3 was the only game that looked like a matchup of two playoff teams fighting each other for a title (until the literal tying and walk-off runs were fumbled away, that is).
  25. intentional wok
    Wow, what a nut kick for the Giants. Did they sacrifice the wrong goat this time? Holy s***.
